I work at Playhouse Square in Downtown Cleveland.



During a meal break on Saturday I noticed a Female Coopers stuck in an
enclosed Fire Escape between the State and Ohio theaters.



Rock Doves will often roost in this location, and other hunters have left
signs of a hunt in the past.





I went to work a few hours early Sunday and watched the bird and took a few
photos as well.



The wild part was watching it react the sounds from Wicked and Christmas
Carol.



Knowing the performance well I could tell when a loud portion (say chains
rattling from Christmas Carol or one of many portions of Wicked that
contained sound effects) of the shows were about to hit and know when the
bird would fly.

 Performances were under way in each theater.



A roof access hatch is about to be opened and the Coop will soon fly the
coop.
